Recent drug discovery efforts are highly focused towards identification, design, and synthesis of small molecules as anticancer agents. With this aim, we recently designed and synthesized novel compounds with high efficacy and specificity for the treatment of breast tumors. Based on the obtained results, we constructed a Volsurf+ (VS+) model using a dataset of 59 compounds able to predict the in vitro antitumor activity against MCF-7 cancer cell line for new derivatives. In the present paper, in order to further verify the robustness of this model, we report the results of the projection of more than 150 known molecules and 9 newly synthesized compounds. We predict their activity versus MCF-7 cell line and experimentally verify the in silico results for some promising chosen molecules in two human breast cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.

Aim: Phenanthridines are an essential class of nitrogenous heterocycles with extensive applications in medicinal chemistry. The development of efficient and eco-friendly methods for the preparation of chirally pure dihydropyrrolo[1,2- f]phenanthridines (5a–h), and their in vitro evaluation and modeling studies as potential anticancer, antioxidant and DNA cleavage agents is reported. Methodology & results: Compounds 5a–h were prepared through a facile one-pot synthesis and characterized by infrared, high resolution mass spectrometry, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. The molecules were subjected to virtual screening and docking analysis against selected human molecular targets. Compound 5g displayed good binding properties as well as significant anticancer and DNA cleavage activity. Conclusion: Compound 5g has been identified as a potential lead candidate for further testing against additional cancer cell lines and animal models in future.
